To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man may, on principles of com- mon sense, not only levy war, but make war, without being present at the place where a battle is fought. Bonaparte was not actually on the field at the battle of Austerlitz. I do not know that he was in view of the line of battle. He was in the rear with the body of reserve. Yet the victory gained on that memorable day was gained by him, because he stationed the troops, directed their move- ments, and stood ready to give assistance ; and the glory of that victor...y, so decisive of the destiny of Europe, was his. He not only levied, but made war, without being personally present. Such is the case here. Admit it to be true that Bun- was not on the island, yet the men who went met there by his procurement and direction ; they leave it by his direction ; and he afterwards joins them, and takes the command. So that in coming to, remaining on, and quit- ting the island, they act in exact obedience to his com- mand. If the assemblage on Blannerhassett's Island were an overt act of levying war, the person who pro- cured that assemblage, by whom its movements to and from the island were directed, is emphatically guilty of levying war against the United States.
